Nougat update - Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers

Hey guys, any idea when will Android 7.0 be released for the lenovo yoga book? Any new announcements yet?

Hi
I did read "coming spring" ...
"Lenovo told PCMag that they intend to update the Yoga Book to 7.0 Nougat in Spring 2017,..."
source
But it is not scheduled in the Lenovo Update Matrix jet

update in lenovo android update matrix: October 2017, what an expected step by lenovo. My last android lenovo device.

thats a really really long wait!! WHY!?!

Ha! With a plan to update in October, they might as well just skip N and go straight to O

I feel its safe to say we won't see an official O release.

If only there was a lineage version for the yoga book.

Just for the record: Nougat for the Yoga Book is out now.

Split screen works as on Android N. Tap and hold recent apps soft key. Select the app to appear in split screen. Can be resized 33/66, 50/50, 66/33. Tap and hold recent apps soft key to exit.

NOUGAT update is out (finally) and it's actually pretty fast and snappy. The multi window feature works flawless, the video cropping issue when playing videos in MX player is now fixed. Any other feature that could be useful in Nougat?

Netflix downloads are working now ....

But it borked the Halo keyboard. Holding down the Shift key gives a succession key presses, as does holding down the Alt key. Makes the keyboard effectively useless unless you type all caps or all lower case.
Edit: Never mind. It suddenly started working OK

Settings App crashes when "Security" is clicked

My battery life has taken a really big hit since the nougat update, Android system is consuming over 50% of it... Only getting around 4 hours sot when I easily got over 7-8 before.

Me too... is there any solution to the battery problem?

I experience battery issues after the update, too. Android system and System UI suck it empty at least twice as fast as before. The sleeping yoga book looses about 4% per hour with WIFI off. In use, it's a bit hard to assess how big the battery performance loss actually is but it's definitively worse than before the update.

At this point, mine is using about 4% per day. But - -
It was extremely flakey for a while. Some nights it would lose only a few percent, while some nights it would lose 80%. I finally ended up doing a factory reset and reinstalling only the core programs that I use. I'm using DS battery saver and Greenify to get these results. I plan to keep track as I re-install apps to see if I can figure out the culprit (s). Actually, I was surprised at how many apps I had that i never used!
Update Oct 6: it's been 5 days with no problems. I don't know if it was the reset itself or if an offending program wasn't reinstalled, but for the moment, all is good.

Please report back if the factory reset helped, I kinda doubt it since so many people are experiencing the issue.

Yeah, i've got the same problem. Did you find a solution?

anyone has any issues w/ Amazon App thinking your Amazon AppStore is not installed? Not sure if it's due to upgrade but I can't run Plex app now. Its saying it can't find Amazon App installed on my Yagobook. Uninstall and reinstall both Plex and Amazon Underground with no avail.

[Observations/Results] XXLSJ Lockscreen/Device Wakeup Freeze

I'm sure almost everyone has now experienced the freeze that happens sometimes when the device comes out of deep sleep, usually for a couple seconds.
I (personally) think its the only thing from making this ROM pretty near perfect. I have been trying to get to the bottom of this freezing issue for a few days and I'm sure a lot of other people have been trying too!
I have disable a whole bunch of things, and since it seems it could be related to WiFi (as many are reporting) I started disabling and uninstalling apps in different stages. Iv ended up with the following (see screenshots) disabled/uninstalled and have been repeatedly locking and unlocking the device (letting it enter deep sleep first of course) and have yet to experience the bug again.
Maybe it doesn't work for you, but perhaps someone can pick up from here and we can all get to the bottom of the problem! It might be impossible at this stage and may simply require a newer leak/release of JB for the i9100.

Hopefully this helps, if not I apologize, but think the problem needs any insight available
I have not freezed, deleted all the extra functionalities and stuff, but the problem is still there, even worst on wifi. I gave u a thank for make a step up to try to solve the problem
I have removed almost every single samsung app from syatem. Using apex instead of TW. Always have wifi turned off. Because i use my data plan. As its unlimited. I have this problem all the time. Is there anything i can do to help? Logcat or anything.

I think its a touch panel driver problem but better to do a logcat if you have time for this. I also have experienced the problem when trying to end a call.

Yes, last night I was using logcat and when the screen came on and froze the logcat contained data such as waiting for input, loading mali driver for touch recognition. I laso thought it could be related to motion control, as if its waiting for acceleration from it so as to use the camera motion shortcut etc but alas disabling motion didnt help either
Will upload a logcat or two later after college today!
It also happened to me too when trying to end a call after the screen came back on after taking the phone away from my eat. Ive also noticed that when the screen comes on and touch is unresponsive. The menu and back keys at the bottom are not lit. And after 4/5 seconds they light up and then it is working. Will post a logcat when i next experience it.

Tried many lock screen apps including the stock one, random freezing with all of them with wifi on. Have been using Holo Locker for a couple of days, seems to fix the problem.

I get around it like another user suggested,
I have a tasker that turns my wifi off when the screen goes off.
I also have phenomenal battery life this way. It is definitely a wifi issue.

Fresh Nougat install very laggy

Hey guys
I installed Nougat the other day and it was extremely laggy, for example it would take about 5+ seconds to unlock the screen after a successful fingerprint read. This evening I decided to do a completely fresh install to see if it could have been some old files from 6.0 causing it. Unfortunately not. The lag has returned again.
Even pulling down the notification drawer is very laggy. It's almost as if the phone is trying really hard to do something and doesn't have enough resources to do what I'm asking.
So my question is, what should I do? Is this a known problem? I don't really want to downgrade back to Marshmallow.
I did try and search around on these forums and a general Google search but nothing really came up.
Thanks!
This seems to be getting worse. Feels like the CPU is constantly maxed out.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I really don't want to wipe my phone again to downgrade back to Marshmallow but I might have to because it's rendering the phone almost unusable.
For reference I'm on NRD90U
Here is a screenshot of the battery stats:

Hi !
Actually i have the same issue with my 6P on a clean install too and i'm very regarding concerning the smoothness of a phone (and that why I sell my galaxy s6 for the 6P).
Before nougat, i had the jgcaap CM rom, and it was always buttery smooth !
Now with nougat, just pulling down the notification drawer struggle too, and don't feel like before. I can definitely feel some lag in scrolling in instagram or even the app drawer..
I think i'm going to roll back to CM 13, and wait for CM 14
Mine is smooth. No lag at all.
Maybe a rogue app ?
Any way to easily see what app could be causing it other than removing all third party apps?
You could try Cool Tool and have all displayed labels: CPU usage, frequency, Ram and Most Ressource-intensive process checked.
If it's CPU bound then you might find the process. If it's IO bound then you won't find the process.
If rooted, you could also check logcat, dmesg.
Or reboot in safe mode.
Last would be to factory reset to make sure it's not a hardware fault. And do not restore apps immediately..
Try rebooting to safe mode to see if the problem goes away...
https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2852139?hl=en
I've been on Nougat about a week and it's been very smooth for more with the exception of a few apps that I had to clear data for to get working properly. I restored some of them with Titanium Backup so I'm sure that caused the issue. Nougat itself has been very smooth and responsive though.
So it turns out that Tune In Pro radio app was the culprit. I used to use it as an alarm, but I noticed that as soon as I set the alarm on it, the phone started lagging. Thanks for everyone's help! Much appreciated!

Wi-Fi constantly Running.

As the title states for some reason. Wi-Fi is constantly running.
No idea how or why. Nothing is enabled. Wi-Fi calling is also off.
Thank you in advance!

Better battery stats....... Is that a 3rd party app?
Could be that that battery app is miss reading something and giving you false information based on your other screen shots.
@shwnr11
That could be it. Better Battery Stats is a well known XDA application made by a member here named chamonix.
It is free for us XDA members but it is also a Paid application on the PlayStore.
I'll read up on his thread to see if he can point me into the right direction.
I wanted to come on here first to see if anyone else with a V20 is using this application and having the same problem.
I recently rooted my phone and at first I did not use a Custom Rom like (Overdrive, Etc.) and I ran into the same problem where the stats are showing Wi-Fi constantly running. I thought I may have deleted or frozen something using TitaniumBackup and I just could not figure it out at all and decided to go ahead and try the Overdrive Custom Rom to see if was something I did.
And of course after setting up my phone BetterBatteryStats is showing Wi-Fi is constanly running again...even on a clean install of a Custom Rom. It is not "On" because that is labeled as something else within the stats and it does not seem to be draining battery even though it shows "100%" battery usage. I am still achieving at the end of the day "1.0%" drain every hour.
But I appreciate you commenting and not just "Viewing" like the other 100 or less viewers have.
I still have no idea what would cause this type of battery usage with the Wi-Fi.
I decided to go ahead and do a fresh clean install of OverDrive's Custom Rom. I have not loaded any of my apps from Titanium Backup but Better Battery Stats.
After 2 hours now BBStats does not show this type of battery usage anymore.
So I am even more puzzled now. It may be that I deleted an app or apk or frozen something that requires Wi-Fi to behave properly.
Is there a list of aps or apks that we can safely remove or freeze?

Check in developer options and make sure allow WiFi room scans is turned off, when on it sends your location data to Google even when you turn WiFi off.
wifi
Common sense isn't all that common
@ZDeuce2
That was the first place I thought to look because I remember that being an issue with the Nexus 6 but unfortunately it was already disabled.
But I believe it may have been something I deleted or froze because I went ahead restored all of my apps one by one that I had prior just to see if it was an app of mine and I did not delete or freeze or anything this time around and Wi-Fi is not showing any usage at all with the BBStats app.
Yea I am puzzled but I am a happy camper now. BBStats is showing a solid "0.2%" battery usage every hour! Getting awesome battery life now.
Thank you though good sir for the comment.

I just checked my Note 8 and sure enough ... the update is ready from Verizon. I'm installing it now before I leave for work. Let's hope this thing works out okay. This is my work device!
Same here, I am downloading now.. And I hope it works out well also....
Sent from my note 8...
Ah, just got back into the country, saw the posts, checked and it's available. NorCal.
r_r
Just got it as well! https://thematridox.com/2018/03/30/samsungs-galaxy-note-8-get-android-oreo-on-verizon/
does it have the video lockscreen?
Network mode in oreo has changed... Global mode was removed!
I just noticed that 'message tone' has been removed from the contacts page. No more individual text message tones for your friends or family! UGH! Why remove a feature that's been on every Android I've owned since 4.2? I don't want to use a different text messaging app. I liked the way its been set up for the past ..umm... 10 YEARS! I'm certain that Apple will never remove that feature from their devices. I want ROOT so I can go back and FIX IT!
First rule of programming ... don't remove features unless they are broken. New versions should ADD improvements, not remove features that have been around forever that has always worked! I'm almost tempted to use ODIN to go back to 7.1.1. Makes me wonder what else is missing. I'm not happy with my $1000 phone

I still have it. I have Global, LTE/CDMA, and LTE/GSM/UMTS
So far, I've noticed the phone is faster and the enhanced lock screen and notifications are great. The occasional split second hiccups when opening apps seem to have gone away. The battery seems to drain more quickly but hopefully it will settle after a few charge cycles.
I forgot to take a screen before I plugged it up, but I ran it yesterday from approximately 11am until today at 1pm. So for a new build, it wasn't bad at all.. The only hiccup I had was with my poweramp audio player.. But I uninstalled and reinstalled and it seems fine..
But it is certainly much snappier.. And the little default YouTube picture in picture is pretty cool (simply because it just does it on its own). But I sure at some point it will begin to get in my nerves just doing it all the time...
But I took a screen of the battery stat for the screen and attached it...

Has the sound improved like the S9? Is there an option to turn on Atmos sound?
Is anyone missing the force touch settings feature whwn you hold down on an app from the home screen or apps page it brings up options for the app. I cant get mine to work. Seen here at 1.min mark.
Update… i have it. Doeant work for all apps.
Can anyone tell me if I go from a rooted Verizon note 8 and update to Oreo, if I can't get the hotspot to work right, will I be able to downgrade to re-root? Or if I backup what I have now using flashify, can I go back using the restore option on flashify?
i cant get the update via ota or from samfirm

Here is all you need to update from Nougat to Oreo.
https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note8-android-oreo-update/
After following the instructions up above and you have Oreo installed, follow the next instructions to install CRC2 here and then CRC4, then CRC5

Well, I finally got the Double Stuf Oreo goodness on my Note8. It was an absolute NIGHTMARE to get, though!! Had to do it an unholy SIX TIMES before it stuck - the first five wound up reverting back to the stock Nougat upon rebooting!
Happy to report that after a few charge cycles, battery life is great again.
I am on a Note 8 and the last OTA Oreo patched the hotspot hack via bk package disabler. I am doing the sim card trick right now for my hotspot and it's been working like a charm. It is critical for me to keep this... does anyone know if the current update being pushed now patches that as well? If so, can I disable the system update notification?
Thanks in advance

How can I remove the Covid-19 notifications that mysteriously appeared on my phone!?!

Running XXXNoLimits, OOS 10.3, Elemental X kernal
Did not update anything this week. Now, under settings-google there is "covid-19 notifications". Had to have been either carrier pushed or a google back door. I don't even have a google account on my phone!
Shows "on/1app" but when I push it the screen just goes dark until I hit back.
Titanium and App ops can't find it.
I keep bluetooth off and only turn location on when I need Magic Earth Maps, then turn it back off, however, the pisses me the f**k off that it has been loaded on my phone.
I have a Samsug Tab running Lineage and it is not there, but the tab is wifi only. Tried Lineage 3 times on my phone and can not get Signal messenger to work and that is a deal breaker for me.
Anyway, how do we get rid it this??
Is this the screen you are referring to, but with different info populating it?

I don't have any Covid apps installed so for me there are no settings to turn on or off; this form of contact tracing is not yet available where I live.
The big question is what app on your phone is being detected as a contact tracing app.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
How do the notifications look like? Regular notifications? Perhaps take a screenshot when you see another one. You should be able to trace which app (or system element) is spewing out these nuisances by long pressing the notification and take more actions by tapping the gear icon top right...
@franken..... I actually don't get to that screen, but that is the right place. Checked a another Android and that is the screen it goes to, mine just goes black.
@timmmmm...haven't gotten any notifications as I don't have any covd apps.
Settings does, however show "on/1 app". I am guessing a glitch since I have leashed google w xxx, Titanium, and App Opps.
I have not done the last system update. Don't have a google account, but do have a google Fi sim card since I live overseas and it works here.
I read google pushed this out as a new setting, for those that download covid apps, blah, blah, blah.......but HOW?
And how do we get rid of it. Article I read on a UK new site said "usage and diagnostics" is where you can turn it off and on, my phone was and is set to off, but I still wanna get rid of it.
That's part of a Google Play Services update, you can't remove it.
If you don't opt-in explicitly, it should not have any effect.
Do you really want to trust that? I personally wouldnt trust anything said or done at this point. For sometime my phone's been acting weird. Note 9 completely stock. But my g7 power rooted since day one with a global variant still runs like a charm. I'd rather just remove it or better yet permanently disabled it through some exploit.

What exactly do you think the phone is doing with that Covid-19 notification setting without an app to drive it? Contact tracer apps need to plug into the local health authority, and only a few places in the US are doing it because people are so suspicious of big tech. I would gladly participate but it's not available in my area.

The only way to get rid of it is to delete Google Play Services. That's how they snuck it in. On Android Pie it's simple. Just debloat via ADB using pm list packages prompt and voila! it's gone. On Android 10 it works the same EXCEPT none of the google apps, firefox, instacart, or anything like that will WORK. So you can de-google all you want - they've baked it into everything. It's something I'm struggling with now since I was forced to upgrade.
